An increase in average global temperature will affect the rate at which vegetation grows, which has a large impact on the earth"s radiation balance through albedo which sphere? biosphere. It may affect animals adaptation. it may lead them to relocate to a new habitat with preferred climate and could cause a chain reaction effect which sphere? biosphere.
